Here Are All Of The Order Options For The 2015 Colorado: RPO Central

The Q4 2014 launch date for the 2015 Chevy Colorado is rapidly approaching, and with it, the ability to finally purchase a modern and class-leading midsize Chevrolet pickup truck. That being the case, we got our hands on every single order option (RPO code, in GM speak) that will be available for the new midsizer. Here they are, for your perusal.

So, the off-road suspension package is still Z71? I thought it had been reported that dealers were asking for a more capable off-road package. Even GM execs admit that Z71 isn’t a “true” off-road package. Not compared to the ZR2s from 1994-2005. This is disappointing news indeed. I had really hoped that ZR2 might make a comeback. I’m 41 years old and drive a 2000 ZR2 pickup. 9 years after its discontinuation, it’s still amazingly popular, even with the younger folks who were born right around the time ZR2 made its debut in the fall of 1993. I know two other people, both in their 20s, who drive ZR2s, one a pickup, the other a Blazer. We all love ZR2’s off-road superiority over Z71. GM, you’re making a big mistake by not offering a package above and beyond Z71. If you offer such a package, and also resurrect the ZR2 name for it, you’ll sell a lot more of these trucks. The name-recognition alone will draw customers of all ages in droves. As for myself, I’ll just keep my ZR2 for a few years longer. Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor is much more truck than I need. I prefer the compact to mid-sized class. I had really hoped that Colorado and Canyon would be offered with the ZR2 option package, but I guess it just isn’t meant to be. I’ll continue to pump money into my ZR2 for the next several years. It’s worth it to me to have Jeep- and Hummer-like off-road ability in a small pickup.

Your descriptions are not descriptions, but just names, and many of these items without a more detailed description and a photograph are almost useless. We are spending up to 40 Grand on these vehicles – can you please let us know what we are paying for?
